Courses that Meet SME Research Methodology Requirements

A Non-Exhaustive, Fairly Comprehensive Listing Of Courses

SME doctoral students are required to complete 12 hours in doctoral level research courses, including 3 hours of Introductory Quantitative methods, 3 hours of Introductory Qualitative methods, and 6 hours of Advanced Methods of any kind. (Courses offerings are always in flux and courses other than the ones listed here may also fulfill these requirements. If you’re unsure, ask the Graduate Advisor.)
